The Lonely Blue Ball
By Lord R.e. Taylor
A lonely blue ball
Orbiting a yellow star
So many creatures live there
All kinds of life wander its surface
Every shape, description or colour
Most of them get along and survive
The most advanced of them
Well, they never learned how
They set up invisible borders
Walls to keep them far apart
Way too many gods for their own good
Teaching conflicting messages of love and hate
And choosing leaders who just fan the flames
Wanting more and more power and land
They never cared about their people
People who are just left to die
Still, that blue ball orbits the yellow star
Hoping that someday its creatures will learn
And if that happens and the problems stop
The blue ball will spin with a little more joy
And the universe will finally see what it wanted
The planet. that blue ball, as it was supposed to be
